Jimin said, "It's been quite a long time since COVID-19 and then the military, so thank you so much for waiting for us. I think we can continue to draw the picture we've been envisioning, and we'll prepare and show you an even better side of ourselves."

"It was my first time in the military, and honestly, it wasn't an easy place. If you see soldiers passing by, I'd be very grateful if you could even just say a warm word to them," he shared.
